Default Settings:
Here the following logic applies:
All settings apply to the next element, which is inserted!
Thus not "retroactively". If you insert e.g. a text, the
default color given
in the menu default
settings is used. If you change then the
color in the menu default settings, nothing will be changed at the
already existing
text. But the next text which is inserted, gets the
"new" color. An exception of this rule concerns the 'Default
HighLight/Activated properties': These settings are applied
to the main menu as long as nothing(!) has been added to the project.
If you add a text, film, picture..., any changes in the menu default settings
apply
only to the next
inserted menu (Titlesetmenu or submenu). To change these
settings
for the main menu (or also every other menu) after an element
is inserted: Right-click on the menu background and choose 'Menu
properties' or select 'Format' - 'Menu (Actual)' from the menu bar.
You may change all default settings anytime, except the authoring
engine and the 'General
Settings' shown below:
If you click on OK within the default settings
dialog, the settings are
used for the current project only (or until you close GFD
respectively). Only if Save is clicked, all default
settings are saved
permanently in the registry.
Some settings may also be saved as 'presets'. This enables you to
change
default settings for different kinds of menus (main/chapter) quite
fast. Only 'reasonable' settings are saved/loaded as Presets (no
permanent nor the shown general project settings)
As there are more than 100(!) topics in the default settings, these are
spread over
several tabs:
Project
Menu
Text
Button
BackButton
Videos+Images
AudioTS
